Located inside the breakwater at Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, on a pier at the entrance to the Milwaukee River.

Another Lake Michigan red conical
tower, with a black walkway surrounding a black lantern room. The tower is built of eight
circular steel rings that appear to telescope up. Each successive rings is slightly
smaller than the one below it.

Re-Built in 1906 to replace an 1872 light,
the 42-foot steel tower exhibits a Fifth Order Fresnel lens, made by Henri Le Paute of
Paris, which bears the date 1877. The tower originally had a Fourth Order lens that is
believed to be the lens presently in the Breakwater Light. The original lantern room had
helical bar windows and is believed to the one presently on the Breakwater Light.

Visitors may walk out on the pier. Park in
the lot at the end of East Erie Street. The Milwaukee
Breakwater Light is also visible from this location.
